Templates and Checklists

Start from what works, and never forget a step

Pick a template such as Client onboarding or Website launch, or save a project of your own as one. It brings its lists, tasks, documents and fields, and due dates move to your start date. Inside a task, a checklist holds the small steps, with nested items, people and dates.

Frequently asked questions

Free has 3 of your own, and Basic and up have any number. The BusyBee.Day templates are there for everyone.

Can checklists be nested?

Yes. Items can have items under them, and each can have its own person.

Is a checklist different from subtasks?

Yes. Subtasks are full tasks with their own dates and status. Checklist items are light steps inside a task, and any of them can become a subtask.
